North Carolina Citizens for Felony Murder Rule

North Carolina Citizens for Felony Murder Rule
Change

is a group of
concerned citizens whose goal is the repeal of the
Felony Murder Rule or, as a minimum, to have the
law significantly amended so that the penalties
possible are proportionate to the actual crime and
similar in duration to other North Carolina murder
laws.

As currently written,
there are only two penalties allowed for a felony
murder defendant: death, or life in prison without
possibility of parole.
Please browse this Website to
learn more about the implications, which can be
tragic, of the felony murder rule, the most
powerful law on North Carolina's books, which
allows prosecutors to gain convictions for
first-degree murder without having to prove intent
to murder.
